This past Saturday my cousin Matthew got married! Due to being the Best Man in the wedding I have limited shots, however I was able to capture a few of the fun moments that were enjoyed at the reception. This was held at Rocco’s catering in East Rockaway, NY. Here’s just a glimpse of whats to come. Enjoy!

Last week I had the opportunity to fill in for a photographer buddy of mine, and cover a fashion get together “The Glamazon Diaries 2nd Annual Fashion Week Media Retreat”. The event was hosted by Makeda Saggau-Sackey of The Glamazon Diaries at The Bowery House in SOHO, New York City. The Glamazon Diaries is a popular online fashion publication that features the latest in the worlds of beauty, art, philanthropy, entertainment, culture, and politics. This was a private held out for fashion’s elite editors, bloggers, stylists, media personalities, and fashion enthusiasts to unwind, recap, eat, drink, and social network on the last official day of New York Fashion Week. There was also many contributions from sponsors, some of which you may recognize, that helped lead to a very satisfied crowd (Especially the food & desserts!). Here are a few shots of the day. Enjoy!

This past November I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. A friend of mine lives down there, and has been trying to get me to visit for a few years now, but various things kept coming up. So needless to say this trip was long over due! I spent a week there and really could’ve spent much longer if circumstances would have allowed, but I have no regrets. Oh! and I didn’t go down there alone. A good friend of mine also had some time off from work, and was able to travel down for the week as well. So us New York boys stuck together. Enjoy the pics!
The trip started off on the right foot! The breakfast served on the flight that day was a spinach omelette with sweet potato home fries, Canadian bacon, a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese, and a FRESH fruit salad! This was complimented with an orange Mimosa. Continue reading
So I’am a little late posting this, but I couldn’t let these pics stay on my computer without sharing. A few weeks ago my cousin was engaged. A group of us arranged a “night out” to downtown brooklyn one night, to grab a bite to eat, and stop off at the famous Crumbs Bake Shop for some of the best cupcakes in the WORLD! (had to add that…) and afterwards the plan was for us to walk down to the promenade to take in the view of the east river. This is where my cousin chose to propose to his now fiance Jannicee, and I was there to document it. Here are just a few pictures from the engagement.

January is here and we aren’t too far away from Matt and Jannicee’s wedding date which is set for March 24th 2012, so I’m sure you can expect to see more pics of this couple in the near future.

September 4th 2011 The White Family held their annual BBQ, which was an open invitation to the entire congregation. In years past these BBQ’s have been a BLAST! and this year was no exception. There were plenty of music, food, skits, reenactments, and encouragement the entire night. This was a really fun event to document. I took SOOO many pics that day but I only will display a few here on my blog so as not to overwhelm you the reader. I hope you enjoy them and if you would like to see all of these pics click on the link at the end of this post to see them on my picasa page.
The Fall season is finally here, and if you’re like me you are very excited! With the fall comes not only less scorching days of sun, but football, basketball, and most importantly fall fashion. Here in New York fall fashion is a big deal during the month of September, and the month usually coincides with a celebration of fashion or – “Fashion Week”. For the past 3 years Fashion Week has been kicked off with an event known as “Fashion’s Night Out” in which clothing designers, models, editors, celebrities, and don’t forget the SHOPPERS all collaborate to “celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, boost the industry’s economy and put the fun back in shopping.” This was my first year attending, after hearing about it for the past two years I decided to see what is all about this year and joined a group of friends who went. Here are a few of my shots from the night.

As we walked down Madison Avenue, a fleet of Bentley’s made their way through the crowds, Notice the photographer!

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to meet up with some friends and do some shooting at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. The weather that day was forecasted to be rainy, and cloudy, however it turned out to be just fine! That was my first time ever going to the botanical gardens and I’m sure it wont be the last. Here’s a few of my favorite shots of the day.
Having just the tips of these flowers in focus really made me think of fireworks, and if you look at them long enough you may be able to see it as well.
There were bees everywhere!!!And as one who doesn’t like bees I was surprised at how I was able to ignore them, and get in there for these shots!
Can you guess what flower this is above? I hope so, because I cant… I believe it was a sunflower… Either way it was HUGE and hanging low so I decided to get in close and this is what resulted.
More Coneflowers
The flowers below are passion vine flowers, we actually almost missed seeing them! These are a truly unique creation! They look like something from outer space!!! As we were gawking, and shooting away at these flowers a nice lady passing by stopped to give us some info on them. If you’d like to know more about them, check out this site http://www.plant-care.com/passiflora-passion-vine.html
Observing nature is something that can never be boring to me. If all of us would just take time to stop and look around us at the beautiful creation that populate the earth, and reflect on how GREAT they really are, it would make a world of difference…
Anyways that’s all until next time. Hope you liked the pictures, Feel free to share your thoughts.
